blend defensive great hear maybe pittsburgh watching
They are a blend of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and maybe a Georgetown with the way they guard. They are just a great defensive team. You hear a lot about it, but, watching it with my own eyes, you can see they have great quickness.
caught created deep knew maybe playing problems wore
Maybe we got a little fatigued there. We keep playing and playing and maybe that caught up with us a little. I created the problems a little. I knew that we were not going back to Morgantown for one day. That wore on us, because we're not a deep team. We need rest.
good hit kevin maybe played shoot shots smart stopped team
We started to shoot too quickly, maybe we played too smart and stopped attacking. We had good shots and didn't make them and that other team was charging. Then Kevin hit that big shot we really needed, the big dagger.
bothered confidence eight elite five game happened lack last led lose louisville maybe texas twice until
I don't think until the Louisville game (in the Elite Eight last season) did we ever lose a game we led in the last minute. Then it happened to us twice in five days. I think (the Texas loss) bothered us for at least another game. Maybe there was a little lack of confidence after that.
good stress trying win
I'm trying to stress with (my team) how good this win is.
couple four games gave great learn mentally minute team three tough
In games like this there are little three or four minute spans when you've got to be mentally tough enough when that other team is really challenging you. They're distracting your game and you can't give in and I thought we gave in a couple of times and it will be a great thing for us to learn from.
far momentum
I know they have a lot to gain. But we're going in with a lot to gain, too, as far as momentum for the tournament.
conference couple missouri next southern strong teams tournament valley
I know very little about Southern Illinois, but I'll know a lot in the next couple days. The Missouri Valley Conference has strong teams in the tournament every year.
east gain momentum terms walking west win
I know we'll be walking into a hotbed. They have a lot to gain by a win over West Virginia. But we're going in there with a lot to gain as well, in terms of momentum going into the Big East Tournament.
far surprise talent
Nothing will be a surprise to us as far as the talent level.
against basically challenge extra played playing relaxing time volleyball
It's not a very relaxing time to have an extra day or two off for the coaches. It's always a challenge playing them because they've basically played volleyball against us on the backboards.
beating coming confident
It's not about beating the No. 1 team, it's about getting better every day. However, we should be confident coming out of this game.
corners glad guys kick
I'm glad he made it. They had their guys in the corners to try to kick it out for the tie.
happy ncaa terrific
I'm just happy to be in the NCAA Tournament. This is terrific for us to go back-to-back years.
